Edge-Core RMA Request Statement

A technical support engineer will verify after troubleshooting if your product qualifies under warranty. If so, a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number will be provided to you. A completed RMA Form together with return instructions will be sent to you by email or fax.
The Edge-Core definition of defective products falls into three categories as described below:

1. DOA (Defect on Arrival): Defect occurs within 7 days of purchase.
2. IRMA (In Warranty of Return Merchandise Authorization): Defect occurs after 7 days of purchase and before the warranty has expired.
3. ORMA (Out of Warranty Return Merchandise Authorization): Defect occurs after the warranty has expired.

Edge-core repair service procedures are as follow:
